Cuisine Breakfast

Prep Time 25 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Total Time 45 minutes

Servings 8 cinnamon rolls

Ingredients

Dough:

• 2 cups almond flour
• 3 tbsp granular Swerve Sweetener or other granulated erythritol
• 3 tbsp unflavored whey Protein powder
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
• 2 large eggs lightly beaten
• 1/4 cup butter melted

Filling:

• 1 tbsp butter melted
• 2 tbsp brown sugar substitute I used Ideal
• 1 tsp cinnamon

Cream cheese Icing

• 2 oz cream cheese softened
• 1 tbsp powdered Swerve Sweetener or other powdered erythritol
• 1 tbsp heavy cream
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325F and grease an 8-inch round cake pan with butter.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, Swerve, whey protein, baking powder, baking soda, salt and xanthan gum.

3. Stir in eggs and butter until dough comes together. It will be quite sticky.
4. Turn out dough onto a large piece of parchment, and then pat into a rough rectangle.
5. Top with another piece of parchment and roll out to about 10x8 inches. Peel off top piece of parchment paper.
6. Brush dough with melted butter, then sprinkle with brown sugar substitute and cinnamon, going almost right to edges.
7. Starting with the far, longer edge of your dough, gently lift away from the parchment and roll up tightly towards you. Pinch the seam to seal.
8. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut into 8 equal portions. Place in prepared cake pan, just barely touching each other, and bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until just golden brown. Remove and let cool 10 minutes.
9. For the Frosting, beat all ingredients in a medium bowl and then pipe or spread onto warm rolls.

I always forget about frosting because I don't eat it , I will search for healthy alternatives and post once I find a few

[GreenTealael 24,852]

My versions were vegan so a hard deviation from recipe listed, but I don't expect many other people here are vegan pathed so omnivore recipe posted.

Vegan cinnamon rolls traditional (dozen) and mostly gluten free Vegan sugar free cinnamon rolls (three)

This is a recipe before and after comparison

I can easily make traditional baked goods but I want to step up my game and start trying more gluten free alternatives.

They taste nearly the same except the mostly gluten free version taste more like coconut flour one of the main ingredients. Very delightful.

Girllll those look delicious! Save some for your wls neighbor!

This was my lunch but really was more like a late lunch snack because my breakfast shake was later and so filling....

parm crips ( Whole Foods) dipped in mashed avocado. I bought a few convenience items that I can occasionally have if I don’t want to cook or want a huge meal. Plus my son and husband like the mashed avocado cups. These aren’t guacamole but similar and delicious.

No after - I had .75 ounces of crisp (about 4) and one container of avocado.
